When a male baby is born, the end of the penis is covered by:
A
prepuce
B
scrotum
C
foreskin
D
testes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -All boys are born with a foreskin, a layer of skin that covers the shaft and the glans. Some boys are circumcised, and the skin covering the glans is removed. Other boys are not circumcised, leaving skin that covers the tip of the penis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Circumcision reduces the bacteria that can live under the foreskin. This includes bacteria that can cause urinary tract infections or, in adults, STIs. Circumcised infants appear to have less risk of urinary tract infections than uncircumcised infants during the first year of life.

Detailed explanation-3: -Usually, babies undergo circumcision shortly after birth. Circumcision began as a religious rite. Today, people get circumcised for religious, medical and cultural reasons. Many baby boys get circumcised, usually within the first week of life.
